Hume uses strong and sometimes dissonant colour combinations, with recognisable images often fragmented to near abstraction. His favoured subjects are figures such as mothers and babies, friends and celebrities, as well as images drawn from nature or childhood including flowers, birds and snowmen. Highlights include iconic early works such as Tony Blackburn (1993. 4th on photo gallery), and Blackbird (1998. photo above), as well as recent paintings such as Red Barn Door (2008).

I like his use of candy or gelato colours (look yummy), and his paintings on flowers and animals such as Tulips (2009) and Blackbird (1998) are very impressive. However, some of his portraits and faces, such as Michael Jackson and Angela Merkel (below), are rather dark and make me feel uncomfortable.
